The Panorama is certainly a motel to consider for a stay in Timaru.
The motel is quite nice, but nothing special really, however it has some great advantages to the other motels in Timaru, and I have stayed in a few!
The main advantage is it's location, where it sits right above the Caroline Bay sound shell and at the...

We stayed here on Saturday night and chose the location as it was near Fusion restaurant that we were booked into. We had room 1, which is on the first floor, and overlooking the bay. It was a special view, and we enjoyed having a wine on the large balcony overlooking Caroline Bay.
The room had two lazyboys in the...

Location is fantastic, 5 mins walk to main shopping and Caroline Bay. We had small view, but with the right room they would be fantastic. Room very clean, small but adequate for 1 night stay. Kitchen had all that was required, hob, microwave etc. Have stayed here before and would definitely stay again.

We stayed in Room #2, a one bedroom unit with a partial view of Caroline Bay and full view of the parking lot with garbage cans. The unit had a nice layout but it needed some sprucing up, eg new paint and kitchen cupboards. The outdoor areas also appeared run down eg carpeting on the stairs was very worn and...

Travelling around New Zealand we came across this motor lodge and was very pleasantly surprised. the motel itself was very well looked after, clean and in a great position for the town. Staff were great, very friendly and helpful with information about the local area.

Lovely friendly staff nothing was to much trouble. The location was excellent close to Restaurants Shopping and Caroline Bay. Very clean spacious and warm. Really lovely stay. I would recommend to others to stay here and would certainly stay here again when next in Timaru.

We`d been roadtripping NZ after coming over to see 3 Queens of The Stone Age gigs and had stayed in some pretty amazing places....avoiding Motor Lodges at all costs.....nothing against them, we just prefer the more quirky accommodation.
Having hit Timaru late afternoon, tired and not knowing how much further we`d have to drive to find anything else, we bit...
